We may have saved the best for last. Brewing might not be rocket science but Mark is an ex JPL engineer gone brewer and his geeky, engineer background shines through in his complex flavors. At his Pasadena based Craftsman Brewing, Mark has taken on everything from a pre-prohibition lager to barrel-aged sours, all of which are some of the best we've ever tasted.

What will we taste? Well, thats up to Mark. He is still working on a line up and will be delivering the beers the day of the event. So, we'll all just have to wait and see what he digs up. Sour? Wheat? Wit? Lager? Stout? We'll see.

And then we have another ticketed event: Firestone Walker's Barrelmaster Jeffers Richardson will walk us through a handful of his barrel aged beers, including both 17th & 18th Anniversary, Maltose Falcon and more.

Brunch - it's so good at Tiger! we had to bring it to the Park. Come enjoy a local beer (we have only local beers on tap at Panama) and our brunch menu.

The Amandas play Live! Remember, we are outdoors, and all ages with a full bar.

First set is at 7:30pm.

Beer Styles: Components & Recipe Basics at Panama 66

Brewers from all over the world are marketing the use of creative and innovative additives in their beer, but most styles are the result of the thoughtful use and selection of just four key ingredients: malt, hops, yeast, and water.

Join us, along with George of the Homebrewer, as we sample a range of beers from the Panama 66 tap list and discuss the ingredients, flavor components, and processes that make those beers/styles unique.

We'll start at Panama 66, our latest place in Balboa Park, with food and a glass of the Automatic/New English Black Lager collaboration. After which we will get on a bus and head over to Tiger!Tiger! where we will enjoy another Auto or NE brew. Then, it's a quick trip over to BLAH for round 3. To finish off the night we will head back to the park and Panama 66 for a 4th, and final treat. Yep, that's dinner and 4 drinks and a bus ride all for $50.

Coachella Brewing Flights starting at 5pm. If you haven't tried the line-up of this brewery, now is your chance. They make tasty beers.

@BLAH

The BLAH Beer Styles Challenge is a ticketed event and your opportunity to test your knowledge of beer styles, or just have fun, as we pair similar styles, test your accuracy as to which is which, and then discuss the nuances/subtleties of each. Four pairs of beers will be poured side-by-side. Your job will be to correctly identify which of the two beers is which style/category of beer. Knowledge of beer history/styles is useful, but not required. George from the Homebrewer will lead this in the Hamm's Room. Limited to 24 people. Get your ticket here.

THURSDAY is also Joe Strummer's birthday. In case you felt like celebrating with a beer.

And then at Tiger! Tiger! on Friday & Saturday night, NOBLE ALEWORKS is taking over the IPAtio Bar with the following beers on tap:

Big Whig
Tongue Tickles
Chinook Showers
Plus, Evan will be getting us some Naughty Sauce and various specialties for inside.

The following week, on Friday the 29th Tiger! Tiger! has a Double Mountain Showcase with 11 beers and their Brewer, Kyle. Mark your calendars, those are some crazy fun beers.

next to the San Diego Museum of Art...

We are serving lunch daily from 11-3 (and BRUNCH on Saturday and Sundays, 10-3)

But this Thursday, August 21, we will have the Bar Open till 8pm. And in case you haven't drank in the moonlight of the Park and Museums, it's kinda awesome. Come on by. Note we will not be open this Friday night. So come Thursday!

And since we are talking Balboa Park we have two very important shout-outs:

SHOUT #2: The Mingei Cafe is opening this week! Those of us working at the Park are looking very forward to getting our lattes and mochas there. They are located behind the Nikki-gator inside the southern most door of the Mingei Museum, of course.

You know how Chef Sharon started making doughnuts every Sunday as part of our Brunch menu. They were vegan, but both omnivores and vegans loved them. She made some news regarding people's love. And then the Cooking Channel called.

Tiger!Tiger! and Panama 66's Executive Chef Sharon Wilson (along with Tiger's Chef de Cuisine Nick Yoder) competed on Donut Showdown on the Cooking Channel and her episode airs next Friday, August 8th at 7pm.

Come join us as we watch the episode on the BIG SCREEN at T!T! and see who won! We honestly don't know! No one but Sharon and Nick know and they ain't telling!

Here is the description of the Ep: A second-generation donut maker from Stanford, Florida, a cafe owner from New Orleans, Louisiana and an executive chef from San Diego, California compete in a speedy elimination round with Strawberry Gelatin as the mystery ingredient. The last two standing compete for $10,000 in a 1950s-themed Donut Showdown.

Maybe we will see you there...

And that's all folks. At least for today... hope to see you round one of our places soon. Stay gold, Ponyboy.

"After six years of making this annual list, we had to rethink the definition of a top-notch beer bar. New ones are opening every second, and “good beer bar” no longer equals a zillion taps; there’s just more to it now. We needed to walk out of these places saying, “Now there’s a bar that really, really cares about your experience with beer.” So what does that mean? Having well-cared for, thoughtfully selected beer with an eye toward variety, trends and tradition, in the kind of place you’d want to stay awhile, delivered by someone who knows their stuff. We don’t want to send you to a place where the server doesn’t look up from her texting when you ask questions, or where you’ll be told a saison “is basically a lager.” (And yes, both of those things happened on our visits.) We’d rather you to go to ChurchKey in D.C., where beers are smartly grouped by flavor (citrusy, woodsy, etc.), rather than just by style. We want you to go to Bailey’s Taproom in Portland, Ore., which cares so much about beer freshness, the digital menu says when each keg was tapped and how much is left. We want you to go to all 100 of these places, because they really are a cut above the rest." - Click here to see complete Draft Magazine 100 Best Beer Bars 2014

NO PARKING

If you park behind T-Mobile you will get towed. 24hrs a day! 7 days a week! Seriously! It will cost you a ton and ruin your night. We wish we could do something about it, but the landlord next door doesn't care. Sorry.
